Hi guys, I picked some shrooms a couple nights ago feeling pretty confident they were all copes. When I got home most weren't bluing quite like I was used to. I've been wondering if excessive sun for a day and a half might have prevented the bluing?

Four or five are very clearly blue meanies though. I am unsure if they were growing with or just near my mystery copes.

So first I'd like to know if anyone can say with some certainty that they are copes. I know I don't have a pic included, but they're quite dry now and I'm not sure a pic (if I can borrow a cam) would help too much more than the description. If you can't say for sure they're copes, I'd like to at least rule out any VERY toxic species. I can take a stomach-ache and some disappointment though.

Anyhow - the description of my "not so blue" meanies:

Habitat: Found growing on cow manure in a pasture. 75-50 degrees F during growth.

Gills: dark gray-black

Stem: Pale yellow to tan to white.

Cap: Very pale almost white for copes. Almost no tan ... barely a pale yellow tinge to the tops.

Spore print: Black

Bruising: No noticeable color changes from bruising on most. A few have a tiny hint of blue, but it's hard to make sure it's not a stain from dark spores and me wanting to see blue.

Location: Picked in Northern suburbs of Houston, TX a few nights back.

edit: I'll try and get a pic going just in case it helps asap. Prob tomorrow. Come on though, someone's gotta have some good advice - I'm about 95% sure they're copes, but I just want to be careful.

Sounds like you have a mix of Panaeolus cyanescens and Panaeolus semiovatus var. phalaenarum.

There are no poisonous black spored mushrooms.

Thankyou Allen. I was pretty sure I'd read on here a similar comment on black spored shrooms, but I'm much happier to be certain about it.
